Glydin,The Omega 3s I took that I bought from that holistic doctor many years ago didn't cause acne. (I remembered this after that thread we had going a while ago). All of the fish oil and the flax seed oil that I had bought on my own since then (except for the latest brand I bought by Natural Factors) had caused the cystic acne. Again, I'm only on 1 gram now. I think that if I gradually increase, then I'll see what happens.
OTOH, I just noticed last night that the stress I'm under now is starting to take it's toll on my skin so it might be more difficult to assess what the effect of increasing the fish oil is. I'm also planning on starting a new antidepressant soon so it might not be the best time to make another change because I won't know which is doing what. At any rate, I have some decisions to make.
Once I do start to increase the fish oil, I'll let you know how it goes. If the acne does become a problem, then I'll definitely try the salmon oil. Did you say what brand you use?
